Hi lossking
I use a free program called Irfan view. Handles most formats for pictures. Pretty simple to use and spyware free. Download and install. Pretty straight forward.

1.Open you picture with it

2. hit Cntrl/R or click on Image/ resize resample

3. choose the size you want.
Refer to pic below.
Note that the board probably has a size limit.
I have been using 600px × 400px seems to work fine.
Hope this helps

OK, I have the stock and forend all sanded and stained in ebony. I'm debating on whether to use perma blue or something else. I can try the perma but if i don't like it, I can always go over it....

I'll be posting pics later on today.

I tried the perma blue method. it sucks. all the edges did not look good. they were a rust colored, which was probably rust. I did everything I could to follow the directions, watched a bunch of videos, yet it seems it's not a good method.....

And it looks even worse today....so I need to de-blue it....again.. :roll:


so i'm probably going to end up just painting it. i really can't be doing to much stupid stuff to it. so far i had only tried to blue the forearm slide tube, trigger and some screws. i did however practice on some old tools i had cleaned up. they came out the same. so i just wanted to be sure it was still going to be the same result as the tools, yet i was only willing to sacrifice some parts of it and not try to do the job on the barrel or receiver in case it messes it up somehow. (tempering it)...

Anyhow..I did sand the stock and forearm and then stained it an ebony color. a few coats more and it will be the color i'm looking to achieve. I will post up some pix in a moment of the process i have so far...

More pix to come later. I need to put a few more coats of stain on the furniture to get it looking more the way I want it to be. I'd like it to be really dark but still able to see the grain...

Also need to figure out what to do with the blue situation....

:oops: :shock: :cry: :roll:
